Status Cell Color Meaning of Status
Needs opinion #FFFFFF This article has not yet been classified into the categories above. Please help by classifying this article.
Not started #888888 The article hasn't been started yet. You can help by creating it.
Stub #FF5555 The article is either a very short article or a stub that will need a lot of work to bring it to A-Class level.
Start class #77BBFF The article has a decent amount of content, but it is still very weak in certain areas, and may lack a table.
B-Class #FFFF66 The article is "almost there" but it may be missing one of the following: references, balance of content, NPOV or an important section. Alternatively, the English may need a comprehensive rewrite to make it flow.
A-Class #FFDCF8 The article provides a well-written and complete description of the topic, as described in How to write a Great Article. It includes a well-written introduction to the topic, and an appropriate series of headings to break up the article. It should have sufficient external literature references, preferably from the "hard" literature rather than websites. It should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems.

Ulpian Fulwell 2 Aug 07 Not begun Reference should be made to what is known of him biographically, and to his extant work, consisting of 'The Art of Flattery', and an interlude entitled 'Like Will to Like'. It would be useful to set comment on both plays in the context of what was fashionable in the courtly theatre at the time he was writing (c. 1560s on). He is a rare representative of court life and their taste in theatre under Elizabeth I's early years - and so an article on him should be included, despite what little other information there is on him. External links will mostly have to be to sites that enable people to purchase hard copies of his books, if this is acceptable. 172.188.60.42 13:58, 2 August 2007 (UTC)|

The Alchemist 2 Aug 07 B-class Introduction, background and history of performance is good. Plot summary could be padded out, with more textual detail. A brief analysis of criticism regarding the play would also be worthwhile. Section on Characterisation (and its use for Jonson as a satirist) could be included.

Volpone 2 Aug 07 B-class Needs more textual detail, and to polish up the Plot section. A good idea would be to include information on the various techniques in the play that resemble those used in Medieval Morality Plays, which Jonson could possibly have seen as a child (some weren't stopped till 1580s) and had as an influence. Characterisation section could be improved. Needs more links to outside literature. Loveliterature 09:26, 2 August 2007 (UTC)|
